The Prime Minister seemed to be taking a dig at Gandhi and his now-famous hug in the Lok Sabha. The Congress president had surprised everyone when he went to hug Modi during a debate on a no-confidence motion in July last year. Later, Gandhi appeared to wink while taking his seat.

Modi also took a dig at Gandhi over his claim that there would be an earthquake if he is allowed to speak.

“We used to hear there will be an earthquake, but there was no earthquake in last five years,” the prime minister said.
